PARSLEY. 
Culture. — The seeds are very slow to germinate, and should be started in a hot-bed. Sow in drills twelve 
inches apart, and cover very lightly. Transplant as soon as large enough. The oftener they are transplanted the 
more perfect they will become. To preserve green for winter use, remove to a light cellar, and treat the plants the 
same as in out-door culture. 
195. Covent Garden Garnishing. — A most beautiful and dense-growing va- 
riety. The leaves are so finely curled and moss-like that it deserves a place 
in the flower garden 
196. Double Curled. — A fine dwarf variety, very beautifully curled 
PEAS. 
Culture. — Peas arrive at maturity earliest in a light, rich soil. For the early crop, plant as early in spring as 
the ground can be conveniently worked, and cover about two inches deep. The smaller varieties should be planted in 
rows about two feet between the rows ; the larger growing sorts somewhat farther. The ground, to give the best 
results, should be rich without the application of fresh manure at the time of planting, as this tends to run them more 
to vine than pods. The crop should be gathered as soon as it becomes fit for use ; in this way new pods will continue 
form, and those already set will become more perfect. In dry weather soak the seeds before planting. The height 
of the vine depends much on the moisture and richness of the ground in which they are planted.

197. Bliss’ American Wonder. — Best. 
198. Low’s First and Best. — I think this variety will suit every market gardener. 
It is a selection of the earliest varieties of round, smooth peas, and will 
ripen all its pods within about a week, so that the vines can be cleaned off at 
once, and the piece planted with a second crop, thus giving the advantage 
of the earliest market prices. It is of excellent quality, and it is with the 
greatest assurance that l recommend this pea to be of superior merit
